The Offer remains open to existing shareholders until 6 March 2017, after which shares will be allotted by way of a ballot and the Offer will be closed.

Only postal or hand-delivered subscriptions will be accepted by the receiving agent and in order to be as fair as possible to all investors the minimum individual subscription has been set at GBP3,000 and only one subscription will be accepted per investor.

The Company will only accept payment by cheque and will only present cheques for successful subscriptions once the ballot has concluded. Banker's drafts and electronic payments will not be accepted.

The Offer Document was posted to existing shareholders on 16 February 2017 and is also available from the Company's website, www.bscfunds.com.
